I am not one to hold grudges. I make an exception for Harlow. After he testified he noticed that the only empty seat in the courtroom was the one next to me. "Hi, Ray," he said, as he eased into the chair. I did not want to create a scene, so I wrote and passed him this note:
"Newsweek, Feb 24, 2003, Hussein Kamel debrief report after his defection in 1995: "I ordered the destruction of all WMD."
Harlow says Newsweek story "incorrect, bogus, wrong, untrue."
4,500 U.S. troops dead. Liar."
Harlow read my note, gave me the Condoleezza Rice happy smile, and said, "Good to see you, Ray."
A reminder from Lord Acton, 19th century politician and historian: "Everything secret degenerates, even the administration of justice."
